      In depth

      Verdict

      Plenty with claims including Stormy Paradise, Mindurownbusiness, Arc Lighter and Kafeel. But all of the above will need something like their best returning from a lay-off and ENERGIA FLAVIO's more recent form may give him the edge. The latter was beaten only a short-head at Wolverhampton last time and is preferred over today's distance to dual 7f winner Brigliadoro. Forceful Appeal is up in class having won at Chelmsford during the week and Spiritual Star has yet to threaten in this grade.
